Outline for project

• Installation

  • Installing IDE (VSCode)
  • Installing packages
• Basics
  • REPL vs scripts
  • Simple arithmetic
  • Variables and types
  • Function (and macros?)
  • Help
• Numeric types
  • Differences between them
  • Errors that crop up
• Control flow
  • Conditionals
  • Loops
  • Recursion
  • Errors
• Arrays
  • Arrays (mutable) and tuples (immutable)
  • Vectorised operations
  • Broadcast, slurp, splat
  • Mild linear algebra
• Multiple dispatch
  • Types/functions recap
  • Methods (with input type specification)
  • Promotion
• Reading and writing data
  • stdin and stdout examples
  • Opening file from path
  • CSV.jl?
• Custom structures
  • Custom functions
  • Custom types
  • Custom modules
  • Export, and using/import
  • Use of Pkg
  • Include

Order is approximate and could change

Incomplete, still more to write about, including

• String manipulation
• Macros and code generation
• Perhaps choose some packages to write about
• Plotting
• Test cases

Would also be nice to have some case studies, don't know what format yet

• Sum of integers 1 to 1000 seemed to work well
• Ordering a list
• Root finding or similar numerical methods
• For more complicated examples we might be able to reuse one from the CATAM project
• Logistic map
• Julia set / Mandelbrot set (relation to logistic map?)
